Arizona immigration law is flawed on many counts

he

Adilka Pimentel, ‘14
Staff Reporter
A money-hungry corporation played
a major role in the creation of inhumane
legislation right in our own backyard.
For-profit prison corporations like
Corrections Corporation of America,
(which is the largest private prison corporation in the U.S.) played an immense
part in the creation and recent passage of
the immigration law in Arizona, dubbed
“Papers Please.”
According to National Public Radio,
a year prior to the passing of Senate Bill
1070, two men whose identities were not
revealed proposed an outrageous idea to
the Benson, Ariz. city manager Glenn
Nichols.

One of the men was trying to sell
a prison that he believed could and
would be filled with “illegal women and
children.”
Private prisons are businesses, they
make a profit depending on how many
inmates they house. The idea presented
to Benson was to create a law that would
criminalize many people deemed illegal,
who would then be jailed, increasing their
profits. That model passed through legislation. The idea to lock anyone away in
a cell for monetary gain is insulting and
repulsive.
Federal judge Susan Bolton temporarily blocked parts of Arizona S. B. 1070
on Jul. 28. The bill would have allowed
police officers to stop anyone who they
believed looked like an “illegal alien”
and ask them for proof of citizenship or
legal entry. Those who failed to show any
proof could be detained and accused of
being in this country illegally.
When S.B. 1070 was passed, it divided
the people of the United States. Many
people think the law is a good idea, including law enforcement officials. Sheriff
Larry Dever of Chochise County, Ariz.

told a news reporter, “The federal government refuses to secure the border and
leaves it to states like Arizona to bear the
costs of its inaction. Yet when we try to
do the job they won’t do, in a manner
consistent with federal law, they stop us.
You couldn’t make up something this
ridiculous.”
Others disagree with the law saying it
induces racial profiling. “We’re sacrificing
our civil rights. We’re encouraging racial
profiling by making police prioritize the
woman simply waiting at the bus stop
wanting to go to work, instead of asking
police to concentrate on real criminals,”
state Sen. Richard Miranda, told the Arizona Daily Sun.
Local citizens protested the law saying it went against the Constitution and
would not protect the citizens. People in
Arizona communities feel that the law
targets the Hispanic community because
three out of ten people in Arizona are
Hispanic.
According to the Christian Science
Monitor, at least five other states have
introduced a law similar to S.B. 1070 and
20 others are considering it.

Mexico is preparing for a possible
wave of immigrants who are at risk of
getting deported due to the harsh law.
According to Guadalajara Reporter, a
newspaper in Mexico, the Mexican government has 25 shelters in border towns
to help the people deported from Arizona
and has set up a fund of 10 million pesos to help assist those who come back
to Mexico. The Mexican government
strongly disagrees with the law because
it takes away the basic human rights that
people, citizens or not, are entitled to.
In Arizona, civil complaints have
been made by people who were already
stopped by officers and asked for their
information. Despite the influx of people
heading to Mexico because of the law,
experts think that the majority of people
of Mexican descent who are at risk of
deportation might decide to go to another
state instead of going back to Mexico.
The bill is in a similar position as it
was when it was signed in July, with the
same parts still blocked according to
CNN.com, in an article that came out
Sept. 4.

Can the word ‘normal’ really be defined? Are fat people that much different from slim people? Are the diseased
that much different from the healthy?
Are Republicans that much different
from Democrats?
We all share one main factor in
common: we all want to live. Everyone
is quick to cast aside those who are different. Since when did being different
become a flaw? Since when did being
who you want to be, dressing how you

want to dress, acting how you want to
act become a problem?
Stereotyping and racism are extremely prominent parts of everyday
life everywhere in this world. We all have
rights, no? So why do people mistreat
each other? Why do people mistreat
those who haven’t done a thing to harm
them in any way?
Homosexuality, defined by doctors
and experts at the American Psychological Association, is a romantic or sexual
attraction or behavior among members
of the same sex/gender.
Many people do not seem to understand, or want to understand, why
people of the same sex are attracted
to each other. Many see it as disgusting
or abnormal; some even see it as a sin.
Many people see being homosexual as
repulsive because man was made to
be with woman. Life cannot proceed
without a man and a woman.
Many see homosexuality as a sinful
act because the Bible states in Leviticus
Chapter 18:22, “Do not lie with a man
as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” Also, written in Leviticus Chapter
20:13, “If a man lies with a man as one
lies with a woman, both of them have
done what is detestable. They must be
put to death; their blood will be on their
own heads.”
Some people even try to make a
joke out of what the Bible says with the
line, “God created Adam and Eve, not
Adam and Steve.” Clever, isn’t it? There
are also people who are homophobic;
people who cannot stand the thought
or the sight of gay and lesbian couples
together.

There have been four reported incidents this semester at Morrisville State
College, mainly of verbal abuse directed
at gay males. No physical violence occurred, however, a can was thrown at
a gay male student. Although the can
missed the student, the harassment was
still evident.
“There has been a rise of ignorance,” says Chris Tognazzi, president
of Mo’Pride. “After the school dance,
we were called names and followed.”
Mo’Pride is a campus organization for gay and lesbian awareness,
that meets every Tuesday at 1 p.m. in
Crawford Hall, Room 110. These meetings include open discussions, ‘clips of
the week,’ and special issues involving
education.
Could it be possible that gay and
lesbian people feel the way they do
about each other because of how they
make each other feel? Perhaps it doesn’t
matter that they are of the same sex.
This is what some people who aren’t
homosexual don’t understand. Love is
love. When people think about gays and
lesbians, all they may automatically think
about is sex, as if that’s all there is in a
relationship.
Why can’t people realize that these
people could be in love? They are human; it isn’t about the desire to engage in
wild sex, but about the desire to be with
the person who sets their soul on fire.
Perhaps these people aren’t smitten
with sexual organs like people may think
they are. Perhaps they are smitten with
their partners as people because of the
way they treat them.

Victims of sexual abuse have options to receive help
November 2010 - The CHIMES

Catherine Flood, ‘13
Staff Reporter
There were two reported
cases of forceful sexual abuse
on the Morrisville campus this
past academic year. University
Police did not say, however,
whether the cases were solved
or not.
At least one in four women
will be the victim of a sexual
assault during her academic
career, according to the New
York State Coalition Against
Sexual Assault.
According to the pamphlets in the counseling center, any victim of sexual abuse
or assault has the right to
privacy, and it is up to the
victim to take action. The
pamphlets say there are steps
to the process taken once an
assault is reported.
The first option is to have
the process explained to the
victim by a U.P. officer. At that
point, an anonymous notice
is immediately sent out to the
campus, physical evidence is
collected and all witnesses are
interviewed.
Investigations take a few
days to several weeks, and a
report is forwarded to Geoffrey Isabelle, the dean of
students, for follow-up by the
judicial board.
The second option is to
pursue criminal charges. The
victim has the option to pursue both campus and criminal
charges, or just report the
assault. “Our job is to communicate with the community whether it’s by e-mail or
text. We need to keep a safe
and effective area in a timely
matter,” said Amy Roberts,
director of public relations.
“Morrisville State College is
its own community in New
York, and because of that

“At least one in
four women will
be the victim of a

career.”
we need a system to keep the
community safe.”
Rape is any sexual penetration (anal, oral, or vaginal),
with any object by a man or
woman without consent. The

A young woman wears a sign over her mouth that says “683,000 forcible rapes occur every year, which
equals to 56,916 per month, 1,871 per day, 78 per hour, 1.3 per minute.” Teen help.com says that one in
four girls is sexually abused by age 18.

full definition can be found in
the U.P. annual security report.
Some common types of rape
are forcible sodomy, which is
oral and anal; sexual assault
with an object; and forcible
fondling, when someone is
touched inappropriately.
The Annual Security Report states U.P. officers are
sworn police officers of New
York State, who are armed,
and have the same authority
as other police officers. U.P.
operates 24 hours a day, 365
days a year and can be reached
at 315-684-6410.
The report states a victim
may request disciplinary actions through the Dean of
Students office. The dean
may change the housing arrangements and the students
may withdraw from classes
so their grades will not be
affected. Victims may have a
no-contact-order, where the
perpetrator is not allowed to
contact them. Disciplinary
campus actions will cause a
college hearing, and if found
guilty, the perpetrator will be
banned from MSC.
There are brochures and
literature on crime prevention
and safety to ensure people
know MSC provides help.
Campus residents are given
their own Nextel phones,
which have U.P.’s number
programmed under a speed
dial. MSC tries to keep students informed of criminal
activity by sending e-mails,
distributing an annual security
report, using WCVM radio
and posting statistics on the
campus website. According
to the annual security report,
last fall, two cases of forcible

sex offenses were reported on
MSC’s campus, and it states
sexual misconduct is not tolerated on MSC’s campus.
Around 48.8 percent of
women who were victims
of attacks and raped didn’t
consider what happened to
them rape. Drkathleenyoung.
wordpress.com reports, “one
in 12 college men admitted to
committing acts that met the
legal definition of rape.” The
site also said that 35 percent
of men stated they would rape
if they could get away with
it, and nearly 60 percent of
rapes happen in the student’s
residence hall where they live.
Oneinfourusa.org said that
42 percent of rape survivors
told no one about the incident, and 41 percent of college women who were raped
were virgins at the time. “55
percent of gang rapes on college campuses are committed
by fraternities, 40 percent by
sports teams, and 5 percent
by others.
The pamphlets in the
counseling center said different things about date rape,
which is also known as acquaintance rape. Date rape
can happen no matter the
number of times a person has
dated a partner. Alcohol is the
most common date rape drug.
If a person is too drunk to
say ‘no,’ it is still considered
rape. Liquid ecstasy, roofies
and special K, are date rape
drugs. These drugs impair a
person’s ability to make their
own decisions. Victims can be
unknowingly drugged because
a rapist puts the drugs in a victim’s drink. There have been
several deaths as a result of

date rape drugs. Acquaintance
rape happens when a person is
raped by someone they know,
but are not dating.
More information about
rape can be found in pamphlets available at the health
center. It is suggested in the
pamphlets, that if you go on
a date with someone you just
met, meet in a public place,
or go on a double date with a
friend, so you are not alone.
Documents state that after
a sexual assault occurs, the
victim is traumatized. The
NYSCASA said 31 percent of
all rape victims develop posttraumatic stress disorder, at
some point in their lives.

sexual abuse is traumatic and
it may affect the victim at different times.
Hotlines are available for
victims or for people who
know anyone who has been
affected by sexual abuse.
Counselors from the health
center suggest the Victims
of Violence Services as an
example. A pamphlet on the
hotline says it offers service
for sexual assault, domestic
violence, and other violent
crimes. The VVS is a 24-hour
hotline and the number is
315-366-5000.
The hotline offers short
ter m counseling, support,
information, referrals, support groups and therapy. This
service is offered to everyone,
no matter who they are and
whether or not they want to
report the incident.
Documentation from MSC
counselors state counselors
can be helpful in sexual assault situations and are often
available for counseling services. “We offer supportive
counseling that focuses on
empowerment and honors individual choice,” Patricia Samson, a mental health counselor
at MSC said. “We don’t tell
someone what to do for legal
action, we provide options,
offer resources and support
an individual’s decision.”
Sara Mansfield, the other
mental health counselor in

“Nearly 60 percent of rapes happen in the
student’s residence hall where they live.”
Documents given by MSC
counselor’s state a victim can
feel alone following a sexual
assault, and it’s important for
friends to be there for those
who come forward. If a victim
decides to confide in a friend
about the assault, there are
things friends can do to help.
First, a person needs to
believe the victim and offer
support to them. If victims
know someone is there for
them, it is easier for them to
open up. If the assault recently occurred, it is advised
by counselors to encourage
the victim to seek medical attention. If the victim is seen
by a doctor, evidence can
be taken, and the victim can
be checked for any sexually
transmitted diseases.
Documents provided by
the MSC counselors state

the health center, said she
and Samson offer counseling
and advocacy to students if
they choose. Mansfield and
Samson stressed their concern
for the patient’s choice in any
matter.
One counseling services
pamphlet from the center
said counseling can help a
person develop a better understanding of themselves,
their goals, their relationships
with others and their environment. The counselors said
all services are confidential
to anyone unless there is a
written notice by the student.

Southern-born Jason Aldean sings his way into our
country bones with his new
album, “My Kinda Party,” that
was released on Nov. 2.
This new album definitely
has “small country town” written all over it. With songs about
dirt roads and Georgia peaches,
you feel like you’re really down
south, just by hearing the music.
“Country Boy’s World,” has
a real southern feel. Aldean explains how he won the heart of
a city girl from Jersey. The song
is about showing this girl just
how beautiful the country can
really be—and how small-town
people can find things to do.
“My Kinda Party” is the
song for drinking a beer while
sitting on the tailgate; the song
even says so. This song has
had a lot of radio-play since
its debute.

HE

Another small-town song is
“Church Pew or Bar Stool.” The
song is about how the singer
wants to leave his small town
and be somebody. He doesn’t
want to follow the same path
everyone else does because he
has big dreams. The song says
you either turn toward church
or turn towards the bar in town,
because there is nothing else
around.
On jasonaldean.com, it says
his songs are about him grappling with the heartbreak and
limitations that accompany
towns with three and four digit
populations. With songs like
“Texas Was You,” “If She Could
See Me Now,” “Heartache That
Don’t Stop Hurting,” and “See
You When I See You,” Aldean
communicates his heartbreaks.
“See You When I See You”
is about hoping to see the person you love again. In “If She
Could See Me Now,” Aldean
sings of how he was so cold to

his girl and if she could see him
now, she would know how much
he really loves her. “Texas Was
You” is about having memories,
but not being able to forget
one that holds on to him forever. “Heartache That Don’t
Stop Hurting” is about how
heartache knocked him down.
The heartbreak was so bad, he
doesn’t think he can get over it.
All of these songs show
Aldean’s sensitive side, which
scores big with his female fans.
Yet, his country-boy style also
grabs the men.
Overall, this album is a success and I would have to say
my new favorite country song
is on this album. “Don’t You
Wanna Stay” which features
Kelly Clarkson, has to be a song
I overplay. This song fits the
album just like a cherry on top
of a sundae. It tops the album
off with a great song that features another great artist. It’s an
emotional song that expresses

their desire to keep good feelings lasting in a relationship, but
it’s the way it’s sung that makes
it unique. It is sung beautifully,
with just the right music.

So pick up the album at
your favorite local music store,
or download it off of iTunes
and give it a listen. You will not
regret this buy.

The cover art for Jason Aldean’s newst album “My Kinda Party,” that
hit stores Nov. 2. Filled with his typical songs of heatbreak and his
small-town heritage, Aldean put out a great new country album that
also features fellow country star, Kelly Clarkson.

2010 Country Music Awards showcase the best of country
Lindsey Kilian, ‘13
Staff Reporter

One of country music’s biggest nights was Wed., Nov. 10.
The Country Music Awards,
hosted by country cutie Brad
Paisley and country powerhouse Carrie Underwood, held
promises of an amazing night.
It did not disappoint.
Most of the show was about
the performances rather than
the actual awards. In total, there
were 20 performances and only
12 awards given out.
First to perform was Underwood with “Songs Like These,”
as Paisley and Keith Urban
joined in with guitar and banjo.
The song was energetic and a
strong start to the night.
Next to take the stage was
Rascal Flatts with their new
hit, “Why Wait.” The stage was
set up as a Las Vegas highway,
perfect for a song about running away and getting married.
Blake Shelton’s “All About
Tonight” was next in line. Shelton rallied the crowd, with the
women drooling over how close
Shelton was to them. He had
a solid performance, singing
about “all kinds of concoctions
in our hands.”
One of the best performances of the night came
from Shelton’s fiancé, Miranda
Lambert, who won four of the

biggest awards of the night:
Album of the Year for “Revolution,” Music Video of the
Year for “The House That
Built Me,” Song of the Year for
“The House That Built Me”
and Female Vocalist of the Year.
Lambert sang her new song
“That's The Way The World
Goes 'Round,” rocking out to
guitar riffs and belting out lyrics
about beating her old man with
pantyhose.
“She’s distinguished herself
from the other country ladies by
taking on a rougher, old-school
edge, and she plays it well,” says
Todd Martens, writer for the
LA Times.
George Strait sang “The
Breath You Take,” which is one

of those songs you need your
tissues for. After Strait was Zac
Brown Band, featuring Alan
Jackson with “As She’s Walking
Away.”
Kenny Chesney sang his
tune “The Boys of Fall,” which
lacked his usual ‘oomph.’ His
song about tossing around a
football seemed almost out of
place compared to the other
performances.
Taylor Swift sang a ballad
off of her new album, “Speak
Now.” She seemed to be playing
it safe with “Back to December,” after her last few poor
award show performances. Nevertheless, she sang it beautifully
with fake snow falling around
her and a string section behind.

Sugarland sang their new
quirky song “Stuck Like Glue,”
which brought some comedy to
the show with Jennifer Nettles
acting like a wind-up ballerina.
Probably the worst performance of the night was sung by
Reba McEntire. She did a country version of Beyonce’s “If I
Were A Boy,” which McEntire
ruined. While the singing was
amazing, you could expect nothing less of her; the song just
wasn’t made for country. She
should have left it to Beyonce.
One of my favorite songs
of the evening was the duet
between Jason Aldean and Kelly
Clarkson, “Don’t You Wanna
Stay.” The combination of
Clarkson’s high voice and Al-

dean’s roughness gave the song
so much emotion.
Performance after performance went on throughout
the night. Paisley sang “This
is Country Music,” a song perfect for the awards, but not
for anything else. Marten said
that it was a “giant mishmash
of wrong.” The song is like a
collage of everything about
country that just doesn’t seem
to meld together.
One of the more memorable performances was sung
by Lambert, Sheryl Crow and
Loretta Lynn. It was a tribute
to the famous singer, Lynn, who
has been in the country music
business for almost 50 years.
They sang one of her many hits,
“Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
The last performance of the
night was the highly anticipated
debut of Gwyneth Paltrow.
She sang with Vince Gill for
her upcoming movie “Country
Strong,” which is also the title
of the song. The actress held
her own; you wouldn’t expect
to hear that voice coming from
such a well-known actress. She
even played the guitar throughout the performance, ending
with a standing ovation from
the crowd.
Overall, the night was enjoyable and filled with the many talents and voices of the Country
Music industry.

Kid Cudi gets personal with his newly released album
November 2010 - The CHIMES

Lindsey Kilian, ‘13
Staff Reporter
Kid Cudi has released his
sophomore album, “Man on
the Moon II: The Legend of
Mr. Rager,” a sequel to his
freshman album, “Man on the
Moon: The End of Day,” in
2009. The album has 17 tracks
and is similar to the first with
its genre-jumping songs.
“…Where his debut focused on visions of his dreams
and nightmares, ‘Man on the
Moon 2: Legend of Mr. Rager's’
intent is to bring you into Cudi's
reality,” says Andrew Martin, a
music critic on Prefixmag.com.
Martin adds that Cudi originally
wanted a more straightforward
hip-hop album, but eventually
changed his mind and opted
to create a sequel to “Man
on the Moon: The End of
Day.”
The album is separated into
five ‘acts’:
-The World I am Ruling,
which has “Scott Mescudi Vs
the World” and “REVOFEV”

-A Stronger Trip with the
songs “Don’t Play This Song,”
“Marijuana,” “Mojo So Dope,”
and “We Aite”
-Party On with “Ashin’
Kusher,” “Erase Me,” “Wild’n
Cuz Im Young,” and “The
Mood.”
-The Transformation with
“MANIAC,” “Mr. Rager,”
“These Worries,” and “The
End,”
-You Live and You Learn
w i t h s o n g s “A l l A l o n g ,”
“GHOST!,” and “Trapped In
My Mind.”
The album features artists
such as Mary J. Blige, Cee-Lo,
Kanye West and Cage on his
album.
The album starts off with
“Scott Mescudi VS the World,”
which features Cee-Lo. The
beginning of the song starts
off with a keyboard, which is
heard throughout the entire
song. “Marijuana” opens with
piano, “keytar-ish blare and
chattering drums” says Charles
Aaron, a writer for Spin.com.

- continued from page 2 “The law is being addressed in
a court action (true); parts of
the law are currently enjoined
(true).”
Gov. Jan Brewer was reelected Nov.2. She defeated
Democratic opponent Terry
Goddard 55 percent to 41.8
percent.
Adding insult to injury, in
addition to S.B. 1070, Brewer
has signed a law that would
require schools to ban ethnic
studies. According to CNN
Politics, “The new law forbids

elementary or secondary schools
to teach classes that are designed
primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group and advocate
the overthrow of the United
States government or resentment towards a race or class of
people.”

This would send us back into
segregation because it isolates
a curriculum and prevents the
students from learning about
other cultures; it blocks diversity.
The people have a right to
learn about the government and
how it works. If it is forbidden
to teach how to overthrow our
government, we are not practicing the democracy this country is
supposed to be built on. All we
need in place is a curriculum that
ensures that there is no resentment towards a particular group
and that explores several ethnic
groups instead of just one.
Allowing the private prison
system to have a say in any type
of legislation is a bad move. It
projects the image that politicians need to work with corporations, rather than the people
who vote for them, to create
productive laws. It placed a label on certain people, some of
who have nothing to do with
the entire issue of “illegal immigration.”
Instead of moving forward,
we are moving back a generation. The temporary block
might calm the waters, but it is
only that: temporary. It’s only a
matter of time before the line
is crossed, or in this case, the
borders of the Constitution.

The entire album has a darkness about it, the way the songs
are made and the lyrics he sings.
In “Don’t Play This Song,”
which features Mary J. Blige,
he sings about drugs, predatory girls, his mom, and suicide,
with a female chorus singing
“be careful.” “Mr. Rager” ends
the album, singing about a bird
“singin’, flyin’ around,” and going off to heaven. “Mary J. Blige
wails, ‘Don't you worry,’ on the
outro,” says Aaron, “but Cudi's
off again, still struggling to
heed his own album's advice.”
Overall, it’s a good album.
Put aside the darkness and
obvious drug use, and you
have yourself something pretty
decent to listen to. There isn’t
a song that seems like a charttopping hit on there, but its
decent music that I think is
better than his freshman effort.

The field hockey team’s
2010 season came to a close
after a 3-0 loss to Nazareth College. “The ball didn’t
bounce the way we needed
it to,” said head coach Adair
Milmoe .
The team fell below .500

8-10, and 2-4 in SUNYAC
play. However, Milmoe said
this team has made history.
“The team has never scored
more than 18 goals throughout the season before; this
team scored 32,” Milmoe said.
“We have never won more
than five games before; we
won eight.”

Quoting the late NFL
coach Vince Lombardi, assistant coach Brian Petrella
said of the team’s season,“We
didn’t lose; we just ran out of
time.”
Captain and senior forward Lauren Bordonaro received first-team All-SUNYAC honors; sophomore goalie
Kelsey Pellegrino was given
second-team All-SUNYAC
honors.
“We set the bar high and
they responded,” Milmoe said.
“They gave everything they
could give.”
Petrella said the team has
made tremendous strides
from day one. They took two
teams into overtime, resulting
in one win and one loss. The
team also beat two Liberty
League teams and lost to a
third in overtime.
“By the end of the season,
we knew how to play as a
unit,” Bordonaro said. “The
group of captains is going to
carry this out through spring
ball, too.”
Milmoe said the team

“I’m so proud of them.”

Bordonaro said her favorite experience this season
was not her hat-trick against
Houghton College, but the
overtime goal against RPI.
“They are a very good team,”
Bordonaro said. “And, I happened to score that goal.”
Bordonaro said Molly Luzak had an incredible season
and should definitely be recognized for everything she did
for the team, both on and off
the field. “Molly had an amazing season,” she said.

Ignorance spreads fear
- continued from page 2 I truly believe that no one
will understand how gay and
lesbian people feel until they
themselves have those feelings, or until they actually step
out of their own judgmental
box and realize that love is
love.
Approximately 25 percent
of lesbian, gay and bisexual
students and university employees have been harassed
due to their sexual orientation, as well as a third of those
who identify as transgender,
re por ts the Chronicle of
Higher Education.
“People are afraid of the
unknown; they are afraid of
what is considered out of the
ordinary. Perhaps the people
that are doing the teasing are
having similar feelings them-

selves,” says Robert Dushay,
associate professor of psychology at MSC. He adds that
he personally doesn’t have a
problem with gay and lesbian
people, and to stop the harassment, the rules have to be
enforced by those in power.
Do our differences define
us? Perhaps it isn’t possible
to accept what is considered
out of the ordinary. Peace is
considered the state prevailing

Are we truly at war with each

with ourselves?

Morrisville ran its record to
3-2 with last weekend’s swing
through the North Country.
“It was a big learning weekend,” said head coach Brian
Grady. “On one hand it showed
us what we are capable of; on the
other hand it shows that we have
to come to play every weekend.”
The team lost 4-2 to SUNY
Potsdam on Nov. 12. Scoring
for the team was Chris Cerbino
and Tyler Swan. “It was a really
disappointing loss,” said senior
captain Tom Longland. “We
didn’t show up to the game the
way we should’ve.”
On Saturday, Nov. 13 the
team traveled to Plattsburgh
State to beat the nationally
ranked eighth team, 2-1. “It
felt great to beat them on their
home opener,” said sophomore
forward Chris Cerbino. Cerbino
has been named SUNYAC ice
hockey athlete of the week for
the week ending Nov. 14.
“He had an amazing goal
against Potsdam and the gamewinning goal against Plattsburgh,” Grady said.

Plattsburgh State has been
in the Frozen Four for the past
three years. “We didn’t give them
a lot of second-chance opportunities, and we capitalized on
the opportunities they gave us,”
Grady said.
“It’s the best feeling in the
world,” Longland said. “To go
into an ice rink on their homeopener and be able to silence
their fans.”
Chris Cerbino and Caylin
Relkoff were both named stars
of the game. Relkoff had 32
saves in goal.
Grady said he feels this
weekend will mirror the weekend they had against Potsdam
and Plattsburgh. “We play the
hardworking Cortland State on
Friday and then play the number one team in the country on
Saturday,” he said.
On Nov. 5 the Mustangs
faced SUNY Brockport in the
home opener and won 8-2.
Forwards Jamie Nelson and
Dave Shultz both scored two
goals for the team, with senior
defenseman Derek Matheson
and Longland both adding a
goal. Senior goalie Caylin Relkoff had 32 saves.

“We saw what we were capable of offensively,” Grady
said. We out-skated them. We
out-shot them.”
“We have a more rounded
team this year, and it was definitely a whole team effort,” said
Matheson.
On Nov. 6 the team beat

SUNY Geneseo by one goal.
Relkoff made 47 saves for the
Mustangs, 23 of them in the
third period. Geneseo hadn’t
lost in its last 12 games, and
had beaten Plattsburgh and
Oswego last season.
“It was a different game
from Friday night,” Grady

said. “It was a great backand-for th colleg e hockey
game.”
The team returns home
this weekend to host Cortland State on Nov. 19 and
Oswego State on Nov. 20.
The puck drops at 7 p.m.
both nights.

Western equestrian riding is unlike any other sport.
Riding focuses more on the
individual player until the
points are added up, said head
coach Tiffany Day. “The main
goal is trying to get everyone
to work together.” We try to
get more students involved in
coaching and show prep so
they can have ownership over
the team, she added.
The western team won
back-to-back shows to start
the season, earning 35 points
in the morning and 32 in the
afternoon on Saturday Oct. 6.
“We did very well for our
first show and it ran without
out a hitch,” Day said. “It’s
always a challenge since we
host all the shows.”
“The team is doing really
good,” Tawnee Collins said.
“A lot of us placed first, even
a lot of the new team members.” Collins received athlete
of the week, for the week of
Nov. 7. She recorded seven

points for the team’s double
win.
“The team is coming along
great,” Paige Jerrett said. Jerrett is a 13-novice rider, she
also showed for the team last
year. “Everyone is supportive
of one another, which makes
being on the team fun.”
The high-point rider was
Catherine Howland, who won
blue ribbons in the reining
and open western horsemanship classes.
There were several other
first place finishers for the
morning, including Lisa Ballard in the western horsemanship class. Also, Collins, Erin
Grant and Jeremy McDermott
all took first in novice horsemanship.
“I’d really like to make
semi-finals,” Collins said.
“Last year it was held in either North Carolina or South
Carolina and I heard it was a
blast, I really want to do good
and make it there.”
Christine Towne and Amy
Amento were first in intermediate horsemanship, while David Benninghoven was first in
intermediate I horsemanship.

The afternoon involved
blue ribbons for Collins, Elizabeth Scott and Kirby Dygert
in the novice western horsemanship class. Paige Jerrett,
Breann Schwarting and Erin
Seymour took first in the intermediate class.
“T he big g est competition is between each other
for sure,” Jerrett said. “It’s
definitely a challenge to go up
against teammates.”
“We have strong hopes
from this show,” Day said.
“There is a possibility we
could represent our region at
semifinals.”
Kristina Janacek, Collins,
Linsdey Seewaldt and Towne
all qualified for the 2011 Zone
2, Region 3 Championship
show.
“Cobleskill has shown to
be our strongest competition
because they have a person
in every division,” Day said.
Colgate also has a strong open
rider and are a growing team
she said.
Morrisville next rides in
and hosts a double show on
Saturday, Dec. 4 starting at
9 a.m.

Head coach Mario Thomas
has been gearing up for the season. “As a team, we had an okay
off-season. The focus was getting more mat time and I think
we did that,” Thomas said.
Freshman wrestlers have
been given time to get accustomed to the drills done in
Division 3 wrestling. Thomas
says he tries to focus on keeping the freshmen up to speed.
“One of the main focus for
our program is to keep the
freshmen focused and keep
academics and wrestling their
two main priorities.” Thomas
also gets his experienced wrestlers to give the freshmen a
hand. “I strongly encourage
all of our returners to develop
relationships with the newcomers in hopes that the younger
guys can bond with guys who
understand our system and our
main goals,” he said.
Thomas knows the practices must break down his
team so they can overcome the

hurdles in matches. “Breaking
down mentally is just a natural
part of the sport. The key is
breaking them down mentally

ficult, but believes it’s worth it.
“Training is pretty hard. It’s a
big difference from high school
to college,” he said. Mozie has

and building them back up, so
that whatever obstacles they
encounter in a match they can
conquer those obstacles,” he
said.
Junior wrestler Najee Mozie
knows the training can be dif-

adjusted to college wrestling
and knows what he has to do to
succeed. “To ensure that I perform well, I try to push myself
hard in practice so I don’t get
tired in a match,” he said.
A freshman wrestler under-

rushed for another 49, and also
had a touchdown.
“All nine seniors gave it
their all; everything went the
way it was supposed to,” Barrett said.
Seniors Sam Pelham and
Tommy Moyon contributed
on the defensive end of the
field. Pelham had two sacks and
Moyon made an interception
on the final play of the game.
Other seniors the Mustangs will
lose are Matt Percoski, Justin
Balducci, Nick Omilanowicz
and Kyle Gordon.
“I’m happy with the way the
season finished for the seniors,”
said head coach Terry Dow.
“It was a great opportunity for
them to finish on a high note.”
The Mustangs also wore
their all-black uniforms one
last time. “The seniors wanted
to wear them one more time,
so I gave into them,” Dow said.
“The seniors are the heart
and soul of the team,” Rosenberg said. “Every one of the
seniors had an important role

on the team. They will be losing a lot.”
Dow said the game plan
was “no different” than any
other week. “We ran the ball
with success, limited big plays,
and executed on special teams,”
he said. “We accomplished our
goals.”
The win gave the Mustangs
a final record of 2-8 overall and
2-7 in NJAC play. This is an improvement over the team’s 1-9
record they had posted for the
last two years. “I wouldn’t have
changed anything,” Dow said.
“The only thing is that I would
have liked to win more games.”
The team picked up its
first win of the season, 48-41,
against SUNY Brockport on
Oct. 2. “The night game was a
great atmosphere,” said Rosenberg. “I feel like it propelled the
team to a better season.”
“When that stadium is
packed and loud, it makes for
a great home field advantage,”
Dow said. “If it continues to
be packed like that, we will

stands the obstacles he has to
overcome to be successful on
the team. “It’s like a day to day
thing,” said Josh Lear. “If you
take one day off, you’re showing a weakness,” he said. “If
you don’t know the moves to
full speed and right, the moves
won’t work when you get to the
mat.” Lear knows an athlete can
have all the talent in the world,
but it won’t matter if that person isn’t dedicated. “You can
have lots of talent and be so
good, but when you get on the
mat against a kid less talented,
but if he works his butt off you
will struggle,” he said.
This year, the team will only
have one home match, which
takes place on Feb. 2, 2011
against Oswego State. Thomas
feels this is a plus for his wrestlers. “I think the road trips
are definitely a positive. When
traveling together, I believe we
form a really great team bond,”
Thomas said. “The negative
side of traveling is obviously
the inconvenience of being
away from the comforts of
home, but the trips we take

together are a lot of fun.”
Thomas believes his team
will improve from last year.
“We have a real solid core of
juniors and it will be nice if they
can stay devoted and be really
good in a year or so,” Thomas
said. Not to mention, the team
doesn’t have any seniors, so
Thomas can bring back the
same team next season. “I think
our 125-pounder, Justin Delamothe, and our 157-pounder,
Nate Cross, will be my most
consistent winners and should
contend for a spot at the NCAA
tourney. I predict this year’s
team will be improved from last
year,” he said.
The first meet of the season took place on Oct. 30 at
the University of Scranton.
The team went 1-3 at the duals, besting Penn State-Dubois
30-18. Delamothe pinned Nick
Bogacki at 1:26. 285-pounder
Clarence Sharrock pinned Jim
Mosher at 3:52.
The team’s next meet will
be on Nov. 20 at the SUNY
Oneonta Red Dragon Invitational.

Football team closes 2010 season with a ‘big win for a big day’

“It was a big win for a big
day,” said senior fullback Sean
Barrett. The Mustangs beat the
State University of Western
Connecticut by a score of 4825 on Nov. 13. It was the final
game of the 2010 season for
the Mustangs.
“They definitely ended the
season on a good note,” said
Paul Rosenberg, managing
producer for news and sports
at WCVM. Rosenberg is the
play-by-play commentator for
football.
Saturday was senior day.
The seniors had an impact on
every part of the game. Barrett
is one of nine seniors on the
team this season. On Saturday,
he contributed 106 rushing
yards and two touchdowns.
Peter Enriquez, another senior
had 56 rushing yards and one
touchdown.

have a home field advantage
every time.”
Barrett would not have
done anything differently this
season. “One day, Coach Dow
told us nobody asks you how
many wins you had; they just
want to know how hard you

worked,” he said. “Every guy
on this team worked hard and
was committed to winning.”
“As the season went on, we
got more competitive and the
scores got better,” said Dow.
“We had more positives than
negatives.”
